BATHROOM-FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent. P t t 1 2 Application filed July 28,1919. Serial No. 313,858.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR P. CODY, a citizen of the United States,resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Bathroom-Fixtures, of which thefollowing is a specification, the principle of the invention beingherein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applyingthat principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

My invention relates to bath-room fixtures, the object being to providea combined construction of an ordinary bath tub and wash basin, saidcombination designed for use in bath-rooms where the space is limited.The subject matter claimed in this application is an improvement uponthe constructions of the general nature shown, described and claimed inm pending applications for U. S. Letters atents upon bath room fixtures,Serial Numbers 260,744 and 308,994.

The objects of the invention are to so arrange the combination bath tuband wash basin structure that one pair of water pipes may be employedfor both; that separate waste water conduits may be provided for the tuband wash basin; that the wash basin waste water conduit may serve as anoverflow pipe for the tub; that suitable check valves may be provided inthe basin waste water pipe; and to provide means whereby the wash basinmay be swung into position adjacent to the water faucets or out ofposition and away from the tub when the latter is being used.

The annexed drawing and the following description set forth in detailcertain means embodying my invention, the disclosed means, however,constituting but one of the various mechanical forms in which theprinciple of the invention may be employed.

In said annexed drawing:

Figure 1 represents a plan view of my combination fixture, the washbasin being shown in full lines in position for use and in dot and dashlines in positions where it is swung out of the Way when it is not inuse;

Fig. 2 represents a side elevation.of my invention, parts of the basinand tub. being shown in vertical section;

Fig. 3 represents, upon an enlarged scale,

a vertical section taken in the plane indicated by the line IIIIII, Fig.2;

Fig. 4 represents a fragmentary vertical section of the communicatingportions of the tub overflow pipe and a wash basin waste water pipe anda cooperating back vent valve, the section being taken in the plane atright angles to that in which the section shown in Fig. 3 is taken.

Referring to the annexed drawing, 1 rep resents an enameled bath tub ofordinary and well known construction served by the usual hot and coldwater pipes 2. These pipes 2 are securely clamped into position by meansof a clamping member 3 supported by a waste water pipe 8 hereafter morefully described. A wash basin 6 is also adapted to be served by thewater pipes 2, said basin being provided with a waste water outlet 7having a trap portion 7, said waste water conduit terminating 'withinthe conduit member 8 hereinbefore mentioned, as plainly shown in Fig. 8.The conduit member 8 is screw threaded into a fitting 9, Fig. 4, intowhich is also screw threaded the outer end of an overflow pipe 14 fromthe tub 1. Said fitting 9 is formed with a back vent or check valve 10of usual and well known construction for preventing the passage of ob-.

noxious gases into the overflow pipe 14. There is also screwthreadedinto the fitting 9 the top of the conduit 4 which is screwthreaded atits bottom into a second fitting 9 also provided with a check valve 10preventing the passage of obnoxious gases into a waste Water pipe 5 fromthe tub 1. The waste water from the pipes 5 and 7 as well as theoverflow from the pipe 14 passes into a common pipe 13 screwthreadedinto the bottom of the lower fitting 9 whence all of said water passesinto a drain (not shown).

It has been mentioned that the basin waste water conduit terminateswithin the conduit member 8. This is plainly shown in Fig. 3. Theconstruction is such that the basin 6 swings in a pair of arcs of whichthe center lies in the axis of the conduit member 8. Specifically, themember 7 is formed with an annular shoulder 7 resting upon an enlargedexteriorly threaded top portion 8' of the conduit member 8, a bearingwasher 11 being disposed between the shoulder '7 and the enlargedportion 8'. The assembly is held to position by means of a lock nut 12cooperating with the threaded portion'of the member 8 and having aninwardlyextending shoulder 12 adapted to fit tightly down upon theshoulder 7 7 What I claim is: a V

1. A bath room fixture comprising a tub, water pipes adjacent the tub, awaste water conduit adjacent said tub, a basin having a Waste conduitentirely above the tub'and outside thereof emptying into said wastewater conduit, an overflow pipe from the tub connected with the wastewater conduit, a separate waste-waterconduit from said tub connectedwith the first-named conduit, and means for pivotally mounting saidbasin outside of the tub and at the top portion of the first namedconduit.

2. A bath room fixture comprising, a tub, water pipes adjacent the tub awaste water conduit adjacent said tub, means for securely clamping thewater pipes to said waste conduit, a basin mounted above the tub, anoverflow pipe from the tub connected with said waste water conduit, aseparate waste water conduit from said tub connected with saidfirst-named conduit, and

ing within the said first-named conduit, and

means for pivotally'supporting said basin exteriorly of the tub withinthe upper end of the first-named waste conduit, consisting of anenlarged exteriorly threaded formed on the upper end of the uprig tconduit, a member formed with an annular shoulder resting on the upperface of said enlarged portion and its lower end fitted within thefirst-named conduit, and an interiorly threaded lock nut member fittedto the threaded end of said first-named conduit with its inwardlyextending shoulder fitting over said annular shouldered member.
